16 The date (2/2)
By the time everything finished I had 2 hours left till My date with Tsunade so I decided to go to the bath house before I get dressed and go.
*******Tsunade's POV*******
As soon as I left the office I began enacting my plan, I went to the shops to pick out one of their most beautiful dresses with the money I had saved up, then I went to take a bath, got my hair done, my make up, and then put on the dress.
As I looked in the mirror I couldn't help but smirk. I'm going to make Joseph embarrass himself in public hehe. I saw how he looked at me in the hospital so I know what he thinks of me. I'm going to trap him and make him pay! Even if he has a regeneration ability like Grandfather it just means I can torture him more should he be a pig.
Seeing myself in the mirror though I can't help but frown. Most of the girls from my class got married a few years ago, in fact all of them did. I would have as well if most of the boys didn't just want to use me to increase their status since I was the 1sts grand daughter.
The only three that didn't do that were Sarutobi-sensei, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru. I sigh, I wish that I could have someone I could just lay my head into their chest and cry sometimes. That isn't meant to be though as every man wants something from me.
I'm going to ruin my makeup at this rate. I have to finish getting ready since he's going to pick me up in an hour, I should use the motivation of seeing his face to keep myself moving.
****End Tsunade POV****
That was a nice bath, plus I didn't realize just how much I smelled from all the blood and sweat I got on myself the past few days. I'm going to need to go and clean again after training aren't I? Man... I need to get this place modernized to at least toilets and showers.
I teleport back to my house and put on one of my nice button up shirts, put a little of what's left of my product into my hair, give myself a quick shave, and then brush my teeth.
Brushing teeth isn't a thing here, but man if I kiss a girl I don't want her to taste stank breath. After I finish there are a few more moments left so I start petting Arthur, and he doesn't resist. He just keeps napping. Man I love this little lazy cat.
Then an alarm goes off letting me know that it is time, so I teleport to where Tsunade is, and see she's standing outside of what I will presume to be her house. When I see her though I almost can't recognize her though.
She is dressed in a deep forest green dress that accents the curves of her body amazingly, and although it doesn't show any cleavage it does a good job at 'showing the goods' if you will. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail that had an interesting design on it that I couldn't see from here. Her make-up was also amazing since it wasn't overdone you could see her naturally beautiful face with the only part that you could tell was different than normal was the fact she had a bright shade of red lipstick on.
I look at her dumbfounded for a moment before finding my words that were hit by a car then stepped on by toddlers, ”Wow, you look great!” Masterpiece here, huh?
She looks at me and laughs, like she expected my reaction. I can't help but laugh at myself too, after all who better to laugh at the stupid shit you do than you! Wait no, I remembered that wrong, its who better to remember that one thing you said in 2nd grade in the middle of the night right before you sleep than you! Yup that's it.
”Did you put a formula for the flying thunder god technique on me?” I rub the back of my head and smile.
”Yeah, there's one on everyone.” I try to play it off so that she doesn't get upset by it.
She rolls her eyes while still chuckling for a bit, ”Fine, let's go. It's not far from here.”
I walk beside her and smile while we walk several blocks until we arrive at a BBQ place. It was surprisingly expensive but I mean you know, I'm willing to put forth good money on a date.
After we sit down in our own little room they bring us a tray of raw meat and vegetables beside a BBQ pit. Oh so this is one of those places where you cook it yourself? Why is it so expensive then?
Dammit Japan. Or anime. I don't know if this is just a Naruto thing honestly, but damn you whoever thought of this!
I pick up a few pieces of pork and place them onto the grill. Tsunade grabs herself some vegetables, trying to eat healthy hm?
”I'll give you a piece of my pork if you give me a piece of vegetable, deal?” I chuckle and pick up a cooked piece of pork with chopsticks before holding it over to her.
She goes and just eats the whole thing in one bite! I don't know if she's trying to show me an innuendo for something or if she just likes pork! She then giggles to herself, ”What piece of pork?” then proceeds to go and eat the vegetables she put on the grill.
Okay okay, I see how you're playing this game, I can play this too. I put some chicken and pork onto the grill along with some vegetables I know I'll like while Tsunade grabs some pieces of chicken of her own and some more vegetables.
After her chicken is done I use some jutsu, maybe quadruple blink step, you can't prove shit, and switch out her chicken with one of my vegetables and I eat her chicken happily in real time.
She looks at he chopsticks then at the chicken I am chewing on, ”Oh you bastard! I can't believe you got me back!” I smile as I finish up the last bite of the chicken. She seemed to get bolder though as she went and stole a piece of my meat right from my side.
”Wow, no shame hmm? I'll win this one though!” She laughs since she doesn't know my final move!
I take the plate of meat and vegetables into my hands and stare at her with an evil grin on my face before I dump the whole thing onto the grill. Her jaw drops and before she can compute what I just did I put a piece of cooked carrot into her mouth and smiled as I started going and attending to the food I poured onto the grill.
Apparently some of the juices that piled onto the plate ended up making the fire hotter for a bit so I had to keep flipping the various things so they wouldn't burn, and at one point I got so focused I didn't respond to anything going on around me, though every so often I would feel a brief wave of exhaustion that I assume to be from shadow clones.
After about 10 straight minutes of attending to everything I started putting it onto a new plate and then sat back and smiled, ”Haha. Didn't expect that did you hm~?”
She shakes her head before smiling, reaching over and taking a piece of the meat, ”Thanks for saving me the work.” She winks at me as she eats it gleefully. My secret move was apparently a self destruct type...
I sigh and eat some cooked carrot I made and offer Tsunade a piece of another vegetable with my chopsticks, which she eats right from them once again. Maybe she likes being fed like this? I decide to try it again with a piece of chicken and she eats it happily. ”Not that I'm complaining but you like being fed like that?”
She looks at me oddly before thinking about it for a minute then going red, ”I didn't remember what it meant... I was caught up in the moment.” I chuckle for a bit at her reaction and reassure her that its fine.
After a few more minutes she tells me that shes feeling full, I wasn't but I mean I have inventory so I store the rest of the food. We then leave the store after smiling at the staff of the store. After we turn the corner I finally see the piece that is in her hair, it is a little twig with a symbol of the leaf on it.
”Oh that's a cute hairpiece that you have in there. Mind if I ask where you got it?” I'm curious about it since it really does look cute with how simplistic it is.
She looks down, ”My grandfather, this was one of the last gifts he gave to me.” I look at her and frown a bit since I know how hard it is.
”I understand how you feel, after I lost my grandmother I cherished one of the last things she ever got for me as well.” I pull out of my storage a small Christmas ornament of one of our favorite movies, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, ”Though she passed away before she could actually give it to me, she meant to give it to me soon as she passed only 2 months before she could manage to. It was still her last gift to me and I cherish it like no other, so I know how you feel.”
By the end of that I was letting out some tears, Tsunade seems to have noticed since she looked up and had some red eyes as well. Seeing me cry though she starts crying herself, she is crying alone while standing up so I let her cry on my chest (A/N: She's like 5'3”) while I keep silently crying to myself and trying not to let it be too bad. I'm just glad that when she started crying I teleported us to the top of the 1st Hokage's head.
After a few minutes of her crying she finally finds some strength to speak in broken words, though I won't torture you with that as I will translate for you,”How are you doing so well then? How do you go past it? He was my role model... everyone's role model. He left me all alone and in this world that wants to take advantage of me for being related to him.”
I rub the back of her head and swallow my tears, ”It doesn't get easier, you just start accepting that they're gone and you try to keep their memory alive since they aren't gone unless you let them be gone. As for everything else I don't have a role model or person I look up to, and well I am not the grand daughter of any Hokage but I can imagine how it feels.” I chuckle a bit at the second part of the comment to try and cheer her up, she looks up at me for a moment, and with her face ruined with make-up she chuckles a bit with a smile on her face before she cries a bit more.
After another half an hour she calmed down enough to the point where we were sitting down and enjoying the view of the village. ”Thank you Joseph. I think... I think that is the first time I have ever really cried about my grandfather.”
I smile at her, ”Any time. It's better to cry sometimes than to keep burying it since you can only bury so much before it comes back. I think its better if you cry about it or even just talk to someone about it. So if you ever need to talk just let me know.” Charming? Well lets go ahead and roll that dice to see what I get!
She looks at me then smiles, ”Alright, I may take you up on that offer later. Think you can take me home now though? You need to sleep to go kick sensei's ass.” I nod and teleport her to her place where she gives me a hug and whispers in my ear, ”I had fun tonight, I'll be in the stands cheering.”
I smile as she turns into her house and I flash back to my place and lay in my bed. Well time to go watch some hent- I mean anime. DONT LOOK AT THE HOMEWORK FOLDER!
